After the dramatic tie last night, it's time to turn our attention to the second semi-final. And like the other tie, the first show to reach 5 votes will win through.
Our second semi-final is a clash of two modern live-action shows involving DC Comics characters, but only one can advance...Arrow
VS
The Flash
It's the show starring Stephen Amell as Oliver Queen's alter ego, Arrow, taking on the show starring Grant Gustin as Barry Allen's alter ego, The Flash.
Which one deserves to reach the final? Cast your votes now.'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

And so, everybody, we come to our final battle.
We started with 64 of the best superhero TV shows and having whittled the numbers down to 32, then 16, then 8, and then 4, we at long last have our two finalists that will compete to be crowned Boards Best Superhero TV Show.
As was the case with previous tournaments, to ensure as much involvement as possible, in this final we will have a 24 hour time limit for receiving votes. Simply put, the superhero TV show with the most votes by this time tomorrow will be our winner!
(Note - as usual, in the event it's a tie after the time limit expires then I will do a Ceann Comhairle job and cast a vote to break the deadlock.)
So then, let us assess our finalists, shall we...?Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles
Path to the Final
Rd 1 - Defeated Legends of Tomorrow
Rd 2 - Defeated The Incredible Hulk
Rd of 16 - Defeated Agent Carter
Q-Finals - Defeated Mighty Morphin Power Rangers
S-Finals - Defeated Batman: The Animated Series

Arrow
Path to the Final
Rd 1 - Defeated Ultimate Spider-Man
Rd 2 - Defeated Smallville
Rd of 16 - Defeated Jessica Jones

It's a battle of two very different types of heroes in green as the 80s classic animation, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, takes on the critically acclaimed modern live-action show, Arrow.
It's Donatello, Michaelangelo, Leonardo, and Raphael squaring off against Oliver Queen.
Who deserves to be the winner?
Well, it is over to you folks now to determine for us the best superhero TV show. Cast your vote now within 24 hours of our final deadline which is, to be precise, Friday, June 17th, 11:00 p.m. The TV show with the most votes when the time limit expires shall be the champion.
So, for the final time in this tournament, cast your votes now!'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'

Well, everybody, we have come to the end of what has been perhaps the most dramatic tournament we've had yet. With a whole range of ties that went right to the wire, and a semi-final that turned out to be a 5-4 thriller, it was fitting that the final likewise was decided by a fine margin.
And having started with 64 of the best superhero TV shows, we have found the one that the forum believes to be the best one of all. And that TV show is...

.Arrow!
It was a fascinating final contest with the Turtles racing into a 2-0 lead only for Arrow to level it up and then go 3-2 ahead - but then the Turtles levelled and went 5-3 ahead, seemingly on the brink of victory, only for Arrow to peg it back to 5-5. The Turtles would bounce back to go 6-5 in front but Arrow would again make the tie all square, until finally Lithium93's vote for Arrow would prove the difference.
And so with a scoreline of 7-6 it is Arrow that pips Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles to take the crown. Over the course of the tournament it saw off nostalgic favourites and modern rivals to emerge victorious.
Had I been called on to give a vote in the event of a tie - something that looked a distinct possibility at one stage - my vote would have gone to TMNT due to the fact I was a massive fan of the show as a kid, with action figures, videos, and everything. But Arrow it is that wins the day and stands tall above the rest.
That then brings the action to a close in this tournament and this one stands out as one of my favourites so my thank you to all participants.
What's next?
We have dealt with films and TV shows the past two tournaments and so I was thinking next time we should follow on from that and deal with actors/actresses themselves - who is the best superhero actor?
Bale, West, Keaton, Affleck or Conroy as best Batman? Christopher Reeve or Henry Cavill as best Superman? Garfield or Maguire for best Spidey? Best Avengers actor? And most importantly, which one out of all of them impresses you most of all?
All these questions and more may be answered in the next tournament I hope to run: Boards Best Superhero Actor.
It will hopefully cause a lot of impassioned debate and I'm hoping to launch this one next Thursday, 23rd June, 2016. I hope to see you there for that.
P.S. A DC Comics win again. :pac:'It is better to walk alone in the right direction than follow the herd walking in the wrong direction.'
